For almost 20 years, Alex Perry has created beautifully constructed gowns and eveningwear for celebrities, socialites and everyday Australian women. The fashion designer’s infectious personality, attention to detail and unwavering drive to succeed have helped him create a globally recognised brand.

Perry grew up in Sydney with two brothers to Greek parents who ran hamburger shops in Sydney. An aptitude for drawing and a love of glamour led him to study fashion design at East Sydney Technical College.

After graduating in 1984, Perry worked briefly at a clothing manufacturing business before being employed as a model agent by etiquette queen June Dally-Watkins.

In 1992, Perry opened his first atelier, with a focus on corsetry, tailored sheaths and made-to-measure designs.

Perry was one of the designers at the inaugural Australian Fashion Week in 1995. He has shown annually at AFW since 1997.

After successfully establishing himself in the world of haute couture, Perry launched his Ready-to-Wear collection in 2004, followed by Alex Perry Accessories in 2006.

In 2008 he launched Alex Perry Brides.

Perry has been married to his Greek-born wife Mary, a former model and muse to the designer, for more than 20 years.

The designer is known for wearing sunglasses morning, noon and night.

Perry is also a well-known TV personality, most recently appearing as a mentor on Arena’s Australian Project Runway.
